People don't have the same IP address unless they use the exact same WiFi network or hacked into somebody else's network using VPN connection. (not recommended)

You can't have the same IP with a stranger on the Internet.

I disagree with a few things in this.

You seem to be getting antivirus software and firewalls mixed up. Usually a virus packages include a firewall, but not always.

"Unique protection system" isn't a thing. Also, you shouldn't need DDoS protection. If you're making enemies with 'hackers', you have a problem. If you don't want to get DDoS'ed, never reveal your true IP. This means always using proxies, VPNs, or Tor. Additionally, DDoS protection for home doesn't really exist - those services are for websites.

You don't need a proxy unless your doing something malicious or illegal. It's not a big deal if someone knows you live near some town. Also, anyone can easily get your IP through Skype. Using an in-browser proxy won't protect you from this. All in all, I wouldn't worry about revealing your IP unless you're doing something illegal or dealing with 'hackers.'

"proxy down your network" - that's not phrased properly/doesn't exist. You only need to go "undercover" if you're doing something malicious.

You exaggerated wayyyyy too much in your last paragraph. Giving away something like your OldCP password won't reveal your IP nor personal information unless you've sent PMs with it. Giving away your IP isn't a big deal either. It takes quite a bit of skill to track an IP down to an exact address, and I would be surprised if you come across anyone who is capable of that.

By the way, I said this is how to secure your computer. By password I didn't mean like OldCP password I meant like your computer passcode.
